Medium Ruby with berry fruit aromas, fragrant spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and licorice with notes of pepper spice, tangy mineral feel. Fine tannins, medium+ savory finish ending with a vanilla, tobacco and cacao. Nice!

Definitely a full bodied style but in 2018 quite accessible at this stage even with only an hour decant. Lots of fruit, integrated earth and tannins, medium acid threading it all together. Nice pairing with kurobota pork chops.

2015 vintage.
Bright ruby red in the glass.
Violets, ripe cherry, leather, red plums, cassis and underbrush.
Well integrated tannins with crisp acidity on the earthy finish.
Very nice.
This will age beautifully and be a fantastic brother to 2016 vintage.
